Joke Thirty Five | Everyone leaves me

[crazy_clownwoman]

[Harley has been having a blast, Halloween coming up after all. The best holiday of all. And they were going to have a great time! Everything was awesome for once! 
Of course it never lasts. She found Vince dusting the toy shop. A quick run to his house and she see's everything she needs to. ...Or more like the lack of everything she needs to. She is not pleased.

The phone is knocked off the hook. Mayfield you may now here a HIGHLY distraught woman yelling through tears. It sounds like someone is throwing things as well.]

-OUT OF IT!  VINCE! 

Stop it! Stop it right now! 

[A smash]

"Mrs. Quinn I think we should get to work."

DON'T CALL ME THAT! 

"Well I'm going to go and clean the window's now. Keep an eye on the shop won't you?"

[And just sobbing now.]

.....You weren't supposed to leave me....

[Harley notices the phone and grabs it up.]

Fine! Take everyone away from me why don't you! What's the point! I try and try and EVERY TIME they leave. I'm tired of all of this. Torturing us every month, taking away people. Bringing people back who don't remember you anyway!

Well I've had it! I QUIT! I'm not doing anything here ever again! I don't CARE if I get droned. This place is horrible! And whoever's doing this is a sick freak! 

[And with that she slams the phone down and marches home. Call back? Try to drag her out of her locked bedroom? She's inside crying but she'll answer the phone or a knock on the door.]

Er, you want to get some ice cream or something? I mean I know back home we were on the other sides, but... I know that tone.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

......why does everyone leave.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

I dunno... I ask that question just about every day, and not just about this place.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

I hate this place. I hate it!

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

This place sucks. There really isn't anything to not hate about it, but are you going to let it win?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Let it win? Have you looked around? IT'S WON ALREADY.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

Has it?! Are you a drone? Are you drinking that stupid milk? Or are you still hanging on?!

Look, I'm not saying its all sunshine and candy canes, but, maybe whoever it was found a way home, and maybe they're getting help? I don't know!

[Harley just slumps down on the floor.]

I-...


I don't know anymore.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

Neither do I, but... Gotta keep trying, right?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

....you think?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

Think about it this way, back home, did you ever listen to anyone who said what you were doing was kind of crazy and dangerous? No, you just kept plodding on ahead, well this isn't so different. People come and go from the business on both ends, and that's just this town's way of trying to tell you what you do is crazy and dangerous.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

....yeah....that's true.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

So this is what it takes to get the great Harley Quinn to give it all up and go straight again? Is that what you're saying? Or are you not giving up?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Hey! This place has nothing to do with me going straight! I'm sane now. Got the papers to prove it too!

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

Harley, if someone... Lets say the Joker showed up tomorrow, and said "Lets do something to put a smile on the face of everyone in Mayfield!" would you go along with it, even if it involved that gas of his?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

...No.

I'm through with him.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

Wow... I'm... Just wow. Call me convinced then.

[Congrats Harley, you've dumbstruck the idiot]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

I'm tired of gettin' beaten, made fun of and thrown out window's . I'm tired of havin' my entire life run over okay?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

Trust me, I know that feeling. I know it more than I care to admit. Why do you think I stopped doing much back home? But, if there's anything I can do to help, just ask.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

.....thanks.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

Now, if I were you I'd go find your plant lady friend and set the mayor on fire or something.

Probably good I'm not.
